any other man. For second place Hawley, Lin

are for Foraker for Vice President.
For President the democrats in the house and

why the diamonds wornin earrings by ladies now

1t makes no difference that the head OF the wearer
is in perfect repose and that she is even speech

goes on, enhancing greatly the flashing beauty

which never wears out-s0mewhat like the iridium
with which gold pens are tipped. Now, when the
diamonds are put In position on the hoop, the
rhodium point projects into the cup. The result
Is what scientists would call a condition OF un-
stable equilibrium. Like the pea blown with q
pipe by Schoolboy, the diamond Is given DO rest,
with the difference that no effort Is required 10
